Will Scott Fitterer get to pick the HC or will David Tepper pull a Jerry Jones

Organizations that are well run and consistent usually let the GM pick the coach and the owner is there to rubber stamp it, provide resources and count his billions from afar, organizations that come to mind:

1) Ravens

2) Seahawks

3) Bucs

4) Titans

5) Bills

 

You don't hear a ton on those ownership groups, they just hire damn good football guys and fade away.

 

The current Panthers problem is 50% Rhule 50% Tepper. He had a lameduck GM "hire" Rhule when we knew Marty was on his way out. Tepper wanted to prove to everyone he is the smartest guy in the room and splashed so much cash at Rhule that Rhule had to accept. IF you recall, that ruffled many other owners feathers and many of us here praised Tepper for "using his money to get the best". Hindsight is 20/20, that backfired and Tepper has gone on with one misstep over the other with the likes of his soccer team, practice field, handling of superstars, etc.

 

I think the jury is still out on Fitterer, I like his philosophies. It didn't pan out with Henderson or Darnold but those were desperation moves. 

Jaycee Horn- SOLID

TMJ- seems like a bust, will hold out to see if a new coach can revive this kid

Christensen- starting guard

Tremble- suspect if we can use him more like an H-back as SF did with kyle juszczyk he might pan out

Hubbard- meh

Taylor Jr- getting playing time

Brown- bust

Shi Smith- developing nicely

Ikem- high ceiling

Corral- too early to tell

Smith- producing

 

If you don't trust your football guys in Fitterer and Morgan to find the right coach, then this team is going to be set back another 3-4 seasons and no self respecting GM candidate will want this job

NO.

You hire a consultant to hire a competent GM who will in have input on the coach. The ONLY exception is if you pry away or are able to get a superstar coach who wants certain controls, but even then it’s typically not advised.

Boring answer. But this is how it’s done, period. For a reason. You don’t cling to Hurney and not able to interview legit GM candidates because he still has the title (and look really stupid btw) then let Hurney have input on the next coach before firing him and then let the said college coach have input on the next GM - let alone personnel decisions and mix up all these roles up like an idiot.

Why? Well we have three+ years show you why. And other teams don’t do that poo. Tepper isn’t a path maker or smarter than anyone else. Tepper HAS to get over himself if he is to have any chance. Keeping Fit will show he cannot do that.

This is all ass backwards and muddled. It’s a clusterfug CLEARLY from an owner that has ZERO clue how to run things even from a basic level. You don’t keep important parts of old regimens around, you just don’t.

Stop with the amateur hour poo, let’s get back to what works in the professionals and try and get back to at least mediocrity.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      The Carolina Huddle

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
